wilson. unlike the physical monuments in the nation's capital, it is a living memorial whose work and scholarship commemorates, quote, the ideals and concerns of woodrow wilson. as both a distinguished scholar and national leader, president wilson felt strongly that the scholar and the policy maker were, quote, engaged in a common enterprise. today, the center takes seriously his views on the need to bridge the gap between the world of ideas and the world of policy. bringing them into creative contact, enriching the work of both and enabling each to learn from the other. this series, wilson then and now, is our effort to make wilson and his period more central to that creative contact between ideas and practice in national and global affairs. in a critical and inclusive way, we seek to highlight work on wilson and his time that offers explicit or implicit lessons for contemporary or enduring problems in public and international life. for this episode, we wanted to look beyond academic work in

the divergence between carnegie's view and wilsons is even more striking if we consider that wilson, like carnegie, had deep roots in the british isles and even more specifically in scotland. his paternal grandfather james wilson was the scotch irish immigrant from america -- to america from northern ireland. his maternal grandfather, thomas woodrow, after whom he was named, was born in scotland and moved just across the line to northern england to carlisle, where he headed a congregation in which wood wrow wilson's motr jesse was born before emigrating to america. so what do we make of wilson's statement in 1918? in order to understand it, i want to argue to you today, and more broadly, in order to understand his thinking on the post-world war in general, we need to take into account not only wilson as the descendant of scottish immigrants, not even as many historians have often done, as the son of a minister and as a devout presbyterian himself, after all, every single u.s. president in history has professed to be a believing christian. so in this sense, wilson is not unique. now,
